Here is an excerpt from the
new Blacksmith Ferrier information webpage:
'A farrier blacksmith is one who works exclusively on horse. His work involved the fabrication horse shoes and fitting them to the hooves of horse. Besides the blacksmith art, he is required to have a detailed understanding of equine hoof care and to enable him to make and shape the right shoe for a particular horse.
The fist blacksmiths in the country were general purpose blacksmiths who could and did undertake all kind of forge work in the settlements they lived in. Since the horse was the main means of transportation and the power for agricultural keeping the horse shod so they could continue to work was of vital importance. Although making horse shoes was, in comparison to the other more complex work the blacksmith did, a simple process, it still required an understanding to the forging and shaping procedure and could not be done by a layman. A badly fitting she could not just fall off, it could injure the horse.'
